The citizen safety insurance has been promoted for nine years since 2017. Any resident registered in the area automatically becomes an insurance beneficiary without any separate procedures or conditions, and foreigners registered in Uljin-gun’s foreigner registration ledger can also receive benefits.

The coverage items include ▲explosion, fire, and collapse accidents ▲accidents while using public transportation ▲agricultural machinery accidents ▲gas accidents, providing coverage up to 30 million KRW in case of death or permanent disability. Additionally, it covers 35 items including damage caused by wild animals, bicycle accidents, dog bites, personal mobility device injuries or death, and deaths from social disasters.

The insurance is renewed annually with the insurance company, adjusting some items and amounts, and this year it is scheduled to be renewed again on March 28.

In particular, the citizen safety insurance pays benefits even if the accident occurs outside the region, and new residents who transfer their registration to Uljin-gun can also receive benefits. However, coverage excludes cases of moving out to other local governments and deaths of those under 15 years old.

Last year, 21 cases of insurance claims were paid to residents, totaling approximately 270 million KRW.

County Governor Son Byung-bok said, “We will do our best to ensure that the insurance support system becomes a reliable pillar for residents to prepare for unexpected accidents in daily life and to recover quickly to normal life.”
